How to fix Your Open Live Writer Account Settings for weblogs.asp.net
When I tried to post on my blog (weblogs.asp.net/rweigelt) yesterday using Open Live Writer, it failed with an error message – I ended up posting via the web interface.
I contacted the ASP.NET website support and today Terri Morton got back to me, telling me that an update of the website last week forces https and that I should point my blog account to https://weblogs.asp.net/rweigelt. Interestingly, it was already set to https.
Adding a new account in Open Live Writer is really easy, so I tried that, but it didn’t work. Looking at the error message, a mix of https and http URIs caught my eye:
Digging in the registry, I found the following entry
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- SOFTWARE
- OpenLiveWriter
- Weblogs
- <guid>
- PostApiURl = http://weblogs.asp.net/rweigelt/XmlRpc
After changing the URL from http to https and restarting Open Live Writer, my blog account worked again – this post is living proof.

UWP Community Toolkit 1.1 Released
Back in August I blogged about How to Search Twitter from Your UWP App using the then-new UWP Community Toolkit. Of course, the toolkit offers much more than that. It has now been updated to version 1.1, with quite a list of improvements and fixes. A small, but nice addition is the GridSplitter, which was one of the first things I was missing when moving from WPF to UWP.
The release also sends a strong signal about the future of the UWP Community Toolkit. It is now part of the .NET Foundation (which brings a move of the documentation to a new location) and has promising community activity. While this may not be a guarantee for longevity, at least the signs point into the right direction.
